   I have not seen any issues with the size of the added M.2/PCIe SSD's,  However the PBP is a low powered laptop, And,
    Many have had issues with their SSD's drawing too much power,  Some did not boot at all, while some suffer fast battery draining.

     There is a power limiting option available for 'some' of the SSD's, that is posted in the Wiki.
     
    IF you are new to the forum,  There are a few hurdles you may encounter when installing an PCIe SSD into your PBP.

      1) The physical installation,  there has been a few different approaches that have succeeded, but it would be a good idea to read those posts
            for some insights.

       2)  The software end has also been a bit of a challenge as well.
               IF you just want your SSD as a storage device,  that is fairly simple.
               IF you wish to boot from the SSD,  that is a little more work,  not just plug & play.
                 I have seen two different successful approaches, 
                     one starts the boot sequence from the eMMC drive, then finish booting from the SSD.
                    The other is a bit more complex,    setting it up to boot directly from the PCIe/SSD.

                 Most of that is in the Wiki,  though looking through the forum could definitely help. 
            
             Too much to just list in a single post, we have been discussing this for a while.

                  It can be done, several forum members have done it.
                
                  I hope this helps,   Not quite as simple as installing into your AMD/Intel computer.
